This site is a product of a partnership between Ontario Power Generation (OPG), Ontario Science Centre, and Ontario Tech University.
As Ontario's largest, low-carbon electricity producer, OPG generates reliable power for the province while driving economic growth for its communities. From Kenora to Cornwall, we employ thousands of people and support local economies through our operations and investments. To power Ontario's growing future, OPG is now working to secure more low-carbon electricity through the refurbishment and redevelopment of our diverse fleet and the development of innovative technologies like small modular nuclear reactors. Learn more about how the company is delivering these initiatives while prioritizing people, partnerships, and strong communities by reading OPG's Annual Report (PDF).
Spark curiosity, creativity and wonder! For 55 years, the Ontario Science Centre has inspired a passion for the human adventure of discovery through hands-on experiences that educate and entertain kids and adults alike. From engaging pop-up programs at events and festivals to KidSpark at Harbourfront Centre, the Science Centre continues to support students, families and educators by making science accessible, meaningful and fun.
Starting in Summer 2026, even more interactive exhibits, experiences and programs will open at Harbourfront Centre, the Ontario Science Centre’s interim location before it moves into its future home at Ontario Place. These waterfront locations will offer new ways for visitors and learners of all ages to explore and discover.
